SUMMARY
The discord within the trapezuntine aristocracy, smouldering from after the death of Manuel II Grand Komnenos, broke out during the reign of Eirene Palaiologina (1340-1341). In 1340 the Scholarios family, who represented the court nobility, supported by other families of Trebizond, turned against the empress and her supporters, the Amytzantarios family. The revolt ended in July of the same year with the defeat of the revolters and the dominance of the imperial forces. |
